If I have documentation of the organic status of a product, then I am all for it. I make my own soap, shampoo, lip balm and lotion. I also make my own bread and cook pretty much everything from scratch. I like knowing exactly what is in my food/beauty products. There's no reason to buy something in the store when you can make it yourself.

I often buy organic cotton clothes (various brands) because cotton is so heavily sprayed with pesticides. I don't think it makes a huge difference on our bodies, but it does make a huge difference to the environment, so I will continue to purchase organic cotton when possible.

I haven't tried any organic diapers yet, because we currently have what we need and are a bit short on cash. However, the next time I purchase pre-folds I would love to invest in organic cotton or hemp to see if there is any difference.

I have a few outfits for my girls that are organic (one is Walmart brand so I'm not sure if it is really organic). The way I feel is that if in some way the product makes my girls safer then I have no problem paying a little extra.

I have 1 organicly hatched fitted and I loved it until the elastic streched out. I am sad that happend. I will have to see if my mom can fix it. SHe is much better at sewing. I won it on a blog.. don't think I would have been able to spend $30 on 1 diaper. Not sure how worth it that it is, but it is real nice. I have never tried the Little to big beetle, but would love to try them.

I want to say that I've used organic. But now that I've looked, I can't say for certain that they are. I do try to use as much hemp and bamboo as possible, but that doesn't always mean organic. So, possibly Babykicks, Monkey Snuggles, Imse Vimse, and Tiny Tush.

I don't have any organic diapers, but I usually buy organic baby food. I think that especially while they are developing, it is best to have as few chemical contaminants as possible. I also use organic baby wash/shampoo.

I have several fitteds made from OBV. I'm not sure whether they are better because they are organic, but I do love how they feel and fit. We also buy organic baby food and fruits and veggies when available and affordable.

I've used Indian prefolds, Chinese prefolds, some circa 1980 prefolds I got from my MIL, and Mother-ease fitted all were given to me used. None of them have been organic so I'll be interested to see what others have to say.

I use Ecobaby Organics fitted diapers. I was fortunate enough to be given like 2 dozen of them with doublers (second hand, but lucky nonetheless!) I love them! I'm not sure I could have justified spending that kind of money on something that my son would be pooing in, but since they were free, it was wonderful! For other organic baby things, my son's entire crib set is orgaic. It is the Bunny Meadow collection from Babies R Us. I ran a rabbit rescue and it was just a bonus that the nursery was rabbit themed, AND organic! It was also very wallet friendly 🙂 I will continue to try and buy organic when I can, unfortunately, it is often much more expensive, but it is best for the environment!

I just adore Earth Mama Angel Baby products for my sons and I. I think they are definitely worth the extra money. I also buy almost all organic produce and use Biokleen household cleaners to reduce the toxicity of our household cleaners.

The organic diapers I have are motherease, swaddlebees, clovers, dream eze, grobaby, bumgenius organic. I totally think it's worth it to spend more for organic, I feel like I'm doing one more extra little thing to help the earth.

I used Imse Vimse organic covers, but didn't like them as well as my Bummis covers. BUT I LOVE my organic Swaddlebee pocket diaper, and I lovelove love my organic Bumgenius AIO. If the construction of the diaper is solid, paying the extra money for organic is completely worth it. Especially the peace of mind knowing that there are no pesticides rubbing against my baby's skin (cotton is known to be loaded with pesticides if it's not organic.)

I have a couple of bamboo diapers and a hemp diaper. I have some organic covers (wool and cotton) also. I think minimizing our kids exposure to chemicals is important, but I also just love the diapers! 😉

I have a few organic cloth diapers that I really like. I am interested in knowing more about organic baby products because I've been reading a lot recently about the harmful affects of other ingredients in baby products.

I have several different brands of organic diapers – GroBaby, DreamEze fitteds, Swaddlebees organic velour fitteds and Econappi, to name a few. I only buy organic beauty and cleaning products. Bubble and Bee have a wonderful line of lotion sticks, lip balm, and organic deodorant. Real Purity and Lauren Brooke have natural/organic makeup options. We love Dr Bronners castile soaps, too. We use soap nuts, which are not organic, but that's about as close as you're going to get. We get enough chemicals in our everyday lives, so I find that it is worth paying the extra money for organic. Oftentimes I am also supporting small and local businesses as well (and organic farms), which is good for everyone.

I have only purchased two organic diapering items, a GroBaby with an organic cotton soaker and organic cotton fleece that I made prefolds from. The prefolds are so incredibly absorbant that I've stopped using them as prefolds and instead use them as inserts in our nighttime diapers. The GroBaby inserts, on the other hand, don't have enough absorbancy to last even half of the night. If I knew that the organic status of a product made it perform better than I would buy it, otherwise it probably wouldn't be worth the extra money.

i love love love organic diapers. that is the majority of what i use on my twins. one of my major problems with sposies is the chemicals, so why would i want to use materials that were grown with chemicals? plus, they're so absorbent – naturally!

I have an organic aio BG…love that its organic…but its not very absorbent! Would love to try some different organic diapers. I do think its worth the extra $ but you would have to wash them in appropriate detergent to keep chemicals at bay 🙂 silenttributary(at)yahoo(dot)com

I have organic Bummis prefolds that I won on a Fluff Friday. They are very soft. I don't know that I would always spend the extra money for organic diapers, but I think it is great that then they are not putting the extra pesticides into the environment.

I have a few Swaddlebees organic diapers – OCV fitteds, EcoNappies, and MiniNaooies – and I love them. I can't afford a whole stash of them, but I do think it's worth it to have yummy organic cottons, and no pesticides, next to my LOs' skin.

I have tried the BG Organic AIO and I think it is a great product and definitely worth the investment. As long as it is good quality, anything organic is worth the investment if you can afford it because you are helping keep pesticides out of our environment.

I've tried the organic Bum Genius One Size All In Ones. We love them! The fit is great and they work very well. We've also tried the Flip Organics, which are super absorbent and great for overnight. I love them mostly cuz they works so well – it's a big bonus that they're organic.

this is my first baby so I haven't actually "tried" many organic products, except for the organic food that goes into my belly while I'm preg! I am trying to get everything organic that I can practically speaking. In terms of diapers so far I've bought organic prefolds and GM's. I've been on the market for organic cloth wipes and doublers, but we'll see.

the only organic product I've used is baby food. I don't think that buying organic diapers really matters to me. I don't buy organic clothing so unless everything that comes in contact with my LO was going to be organic, I can't justify spending the extra money on organic diapers. (the food was cheaper organic)mumma905708 (@)gmail.com

I haven't bought much in the way of organic diapers yet, but I have bought several organic accessories, like the Little Beetles wool puddle pad, and a wool crib pad, and some other wool. I've found with the wool products that organic wool is just as available as regular, so I might as well buy it. But I have bought some organic cotton products also and I think they are worth it too, but my budget remains limited.

I have 4 organic bum genius 3.0 and I love them. I also have 4 GroBaby organic diapers. I really love them. I don't know if those companies follow fair trade standards, but that is one thing that I admire about Better for Babies. I plan to purchase more products that are good for the environment and all the people involved in their production.

I have 3 organic cotton sposoeasy diapers. I can't afford to pay the extra, I just happened to run across these 3 for $25 from a neighbor.. I like them for the e tea softness but the brand isn't really good for my baby boy, something about the fit. If I could afford to spend the money for organic I would every time, but on a military income, it's just not realistic for us.

I use organic and natural cleaning and baby products. The cleaning products really do a good job and give me peace of mind that if one of my children gets ahold of them, it won't hurt them. All of my kids have sensitive dry skin and the only thing that keeps it in check is bath products that aren't full of chemicals.

I purchased Earth's Best Organic Babyfood for my son before he started eating table food with us. The prices really weren't that different than other types of baby food, and he didn't eat them for that long, so I do feel like it was worth it!

We haven't tried organic cloth diapers yet since #1 is due for a few weeks yet. We've been buying all organic food for quite a while and it's definitely worth it. I don't have to worry about the effects of pesticides, herbicides, and hormones on me or my baby. Plus research shows that organically produced food is more nutritional than "conventionally" produced food. Totally worth it.

I often buy organic clothing and organic toys for my children- especially when they are at the stage where everything goes in their mouth. I also buy all organic or locally grown fruits and vegetables and make my own baby food.

I have not tried organic diapers, but I use organic baby bath products – California Baby wash and Avalon Organics diaper ointment. I like the products and feel more comfortable putting them on my little guy's skin.

I use organic baby products for our daughter (lotions and such) because we think it is better for her skin and they don't have all the chemicals in them that cause her skin to get rashy. I would LOVE to try some organic cloth for the baby we are expecting in April.

I haven't tried many organic diapers but love the ones I have! The first Organic diaper I tried was the Bumgenius Organic OS AIO and instantly fell in love. So soft, so squishy, so natural! It's just an overall great diaper, though the $25 price tag does make me shiver from time to time.

The Flip Organic Insert is #1 on my Organic list. This insert is so soft, trim, and simply bulletproof. One of these little inserts is absorbant enough to last 12 hours for my mr. super soaker. At $20 a set I can easily scoop these up. Not only do I get a night worthy insert but a one size cover- two for one!

Lastly I own two Little Beetles Hemp Fitteds. I wish these still fit my little guy! These are wonderful. They're the trimmest fitted I own and are perfect for hanging around the house during the day. Plus hemp is one of my favorite diaper materials. I certainly think the extra $$ is worth it for organic, especially organic hemp diapers!

Hello, I posted on facebook about this website. It is so helpful. I am new to cloth diapering. So far I love organic diapers! I love the Bumgenius organic diapers. These are so soft. The colors are great. I would love to see them have prints! You just feel good about putting organic on your baby's bum. No chemicals, washes like a charm, and you know it is mother nature at its best.

I have a variety of fitted diapers with organic fabric including goodmama. And I have made inserts out of organic fabrics. I also have an organic knit wool cover and another organic fitted on the way this week (Sbish). We also use organic food whenever possible. For me, buying organic is worth the extra $ because it is something so close to my little one and I like that these fabrics are being produced in ways that are safer for our environment.
